<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
DirectorySlash Off

# Remove WWW
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L]

# Remove Trailing Slashes
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s(.+?)/+[?\s]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=302,L]

# remove index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php[\s?/] [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)index\.php(/.*)?/?$ /$1$2 [L,R=301,NC,NE]

# Reroute to index.php
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?cURL=/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Answer 1

It is due to your remove index.php rule that is adding one extra / to make it // . Change that rule to:

# remove index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php[\s?/] [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*/)?index\.php(?:/(.*))?/?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1%2 [L,R=301,NE]
